6. Frankie Edgar vs. Jose Aldo UFC 200
It is one thing when a champion is unable to defend their belt due to injury, it is another altogether when they don’t defend their title due to going up in weight.
Conor’s treatment of the featherweight title has angered MMA fans who want match-making best solely on sporting reasons. By going up in weight instead of defending the title, the argument is that Conor has stalled the whole division. With that being said, nobody bought the idea that Frankie Edgar vs. Jose Aldo was a title fight.
It had only been 7 months since Conor knocked out Aldo in 13 seconds, much sooner than interim titles normally get handed out.
